Being an Agile Leader can sometimes be lonely. For example, if you're the only Scrum Master in a startup, to whom do you turn for help when your team is resisting some aspect of Scrum? Not all companies have a group of Agile practitioners who could rely on each other for support and problem-solving.

That's where Toolie® Merchant and PracticalScrum.com fill the gap. There are several ways to interact with Toolie for help with being an Agile leader.

  • Join Practical Scrum. Here you have access to a live chat with other Agile professionals. This chatroom is intended to provide on-the-spot problem-solving during the day when Agile Leaders have a situation and need help.
  • Sign up for an Agile Leader Mentorship. Toolie has been in your situation and understands your role. This comprehensive mentorship is conducted in one-on-one 30-minute sessions that teach you the leadership skills that Agile Certification classes completely ignore. You'll emerge as a confident, strategic leader who leads by influence rather than managerial authority.

Who Signs Up for Mentorships?

  • Typically Scrum Masters, Kanban Managers, and Product Owners sign up for this kind of assistance.
  • You don't have to be a certified Agile professional to sign up for a mentorship.
  • You can sign up for an individual mentorship with Toolie whether or not you obtained your Agile certification through RemoteScrumStudy.com or another Agile certifying body.
  • Stakeholders, Engineering Managers, and Developers trying to operate an Agile/Scrum or Agile/Kanban team are also welcome to sign up for a mentorship.
  • Project Managers who are interacting with Agile teams can also benefit from this kind of mentorship.

There's no reason to struggle alone when a highly-experienced Agile practitioner and mentor is available. Schedule an appointment with Toolie to apply for a mentorship.
